Abstract
New abundances for the elements helium to sulfur are derived for the brightest member of the spectroscopic binary HD 1909 using updated atomic data and spectrum synthesis. The majority of these elements are underabundant, the depletion factors appear in parenthesis: helium (0.02 times the solar helium abundance), carbon and oxygen (0.40 ⊙), neon (0.15 ⊙), magnesium (0.45 ⊙), aluminum (0.02 ⊙). silicon (0.50 ⊙) and sulfur (0.35 ⊙). In contrast, phosphorus is overabundant by a factor of 12.5 ⊙ and the silicon–phosphorus–sulfur triad is inverted. The lines of the companion are redshifted by about +122.5 km s−1 with respect to the B9 Hg star in the spectrum analyzed here.
